If human activities could change climate, would it be
possible to change it on purpose, to suit us better? From 1945 into
the 1970s, much effort went into studies of weather modification.
American entrepreneurs tried cloud-seeding to enhance local
rainfall, Russian scientists offered fabulous schemes of planetary
engineering, and military agencies secretly explored "climatological warfare." In today’s conversation, we will learn
what this is all about and what the ethical considerations and
implications might be.
